As far as leg room look at one of the off set seat post that may give you enough room with no changes to your boat.

Creekslick, really like the looks of the hi teks. Question, do you have to remove the screws every time to get it out the way when you're not trolling, or is there a quick release?

Thanks

Xring.....Just some insight on your pole rack. You need as much pole lenght out over the water as possible away from the boat and trolling motor. If you sit back aways, or mount your pole rack back to far you will be cutting the lenght of your pole basically.
Just something to think about there Mr. X.

The four screws fasten the base plate to the boat and the stay there. To remove the rod holder all you do is loosen one bolt and the upright slides out of the base plate.
